Course Description

Considers global patterns in women’s history, prioritizing Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Middle East to explore women’s experiences as they are both distinctively cultural and resonant across cultures. A topical framework will enable comparative analysis, and will always include gender as a central mode of analysis, analysis of historiographical issues in constructing global women’s history and analysis of religion’s role in generating, maintaining and critiquing cultural definitions of gender. Specific topics within this framework may include women’s participation in revolutions, religious movements, feminism, politics and the workforce, among other possibilities. A focus of the study is a variety of primary sources, films and field research studies.
